Movement Pattern Recognition Assisted Map Matching for Pedestrian/Wheelchair Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today’s mobile technology features several sensors that when integrated can provide ubiquitous navigation assistance to pedestrians including wheelchair users. Common sensors found in most smartphones are Global Positioning System (GPS), accelerometer, and compass. In this paper, a user’s movement pattern recognition algorithm to improve map matching efficiency and accuracy in pedestrian/wheelchair navigation systems/services is discussed. The algorithm integrates GPS positions, orientation data from compass, and movement states recognized from accelerometer data in a client/server architecture. The algorithm is tested in an Android mobile phone, and the results show that the proposed map matching algorithm is efficient and provides good accuracy.

The Effect of Maps-Enhanced Novel Movement Models on Pedestrian Navigation Performance
In this paper the question of “how much the a priori knowledge of floor plans will assist navigation in challenging indoor environments?” will be investigated. Additionally, the effect of different levels of accuracy of floor plans on the overall estimation process will be studied. In particular, the effect of wrong a priori knowledge of maps and floor plans on navigation accuracy will also be ...
متن کاملNew Map - Matching Algorithm Using Virtual Track for Pedestrian Dead Reckoning
© 2010 Seung Hyuck Shin et al. 891 In this paper, a map-matching (MM) algorithm which combines an estimated position with digital road data is proposed. The presented algorithm using a virtual track is appropriate for a MEMS-based pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) system, which can be used in mobile devices. Most of the previous MM algorithms are for car navigation systems and GPS-based navigatio...
متن کاملAn Improved Map-Matching Technique Based on the Fréchet Distance Approach for Pedestrian Navigation Services
Wearable and smartphone technology innovations have propelled the growth of Pedestrian Navigation Services (PNS). PNS need a map-matching process to project a user's locations onto maps. Many map-matching techniques have been developed for vehicle navigation services. These techniques are inappropriate for PNS because pedestrians move, stop, and turn in different ways compared to vehicles. In a...
متن کاملA Hybrid Indoor Localization and Navigation System with Map Matching for Pedestrians Using Smartphones
Pedestrian dead reckoning is a common technique applied in indoor inertial navigation systems that is able to provide accurate tracking performance within short distances. Sensor drift is the main bottleneck in extending the system to long-distance and long-term tracking. In this paper, a hybrid system integrating traditional pedestrian dead reckoning based on the use of inertial measurement un...
